@GOATtrainss I figured it was that. The gold being 100% gone is weird, but I'm seeing some images with it not there. Common factory perchance? This is my childhood Thomas too and I don't remember having Knapford.
This is true. An addendum to #9 though is that engines have to go to Sodor to gain sentience but they retain that afterwards. Season 1 will also start in the year 1945 and completely disregard #3 because it's actually all about the steamies vs diesels conflict
my ass loves unlucky tug and this isn't even that 🥲 it was the first big time I think anyone in the fandom in a public way ever mentioned why tugs was commercially flawed and since then the perception has become tugs sucks lmao
I also 100% with the statements about why tugs wasn't going to sell and most of its criticisms it gets today. some of that shit was wacky. I still think it's a damn good watch though. is that my unpopular opinion? I don't know.
Not an opinion but an observation: ironically unlucky tug talking about why tugs didn't succeed in his retrospective video completely nuked tugs' perception to fans
you can't mention this show anymore w/o someone bringing up why it didn't work
we used to have like whole months where all of thomas twitter pivoted to tugs. I think it was usually like April. I think apart of that trend fading is also because we've learned so much about tugs and have run out of things to talk abt.
